To highlite BMW’s engeneering competence we have developed four robotic exhibits, each one presenting a particular engine type.

In order to underline the sophisticated balance of Efficiency and Dynamics we introduced a scale where the robot places different objects. In addition the robot shows the various engine parts which are responsible for the high efficiency and solid dynamics.

A site-specific audiovisual installation realized during three days in Revine Lago (Italy). The work plays with the elements of Revine Lago's landscape, subverting the relationship between the artificial, vertical elements of the poles of the lake dwellings and the natural horizontal background of the lake. The projection mapping underlines the contrast between nature and artifact, reshaping the normal relationships of dimension, distance from the observer, content and orientation. An invite to reflect about the chance to invert the logic of appropriation and colonization of spaces.

Setup: paper stripes, video beamer, DVD player, two speakers.

The idea of this Robotic Exhibit is to create a realistic impression of a high dynamic drive on the display to explain BMW’s xDrive Technology.

BMW Individual – A real material browser
MESO realized the interaction screen and heart of the sculpture, where the user can browse, filter and choose from the multitude of material combinations.

This robotic Exhibit displays real material samples with the help of real-time driven microscopes at the robots tool. The user decides which material he wants to explore and controls the zoom factor and the position of the microscope. Additional animated illuminations on the ground area visually connecting the user interaction point with the selected material.

Tweener Types & Tweener Modes Demonstration

As an example of the function of the RT/RML. Just one string is sent by TCP/IP to start the movement. This triggers movement along a Bézier curve with certain tweening parameters.

Robotic Interaction Sketches

On behalf of BMW, MESO researched and developed the basis for a platform for interactive exhibits. One of the main components in the first stage of the project is the Real-Time Robotic Motion Library (RT/RML). This enables highly aesthetic sequences of movements to be implemented by ABB industrial robots in any kind of programming environment.

Industrial robots have traditionally been controlled by a fixed program which lets them work as efficiently as possible. The robot typically works self-sufficiently and is linked to the surrounding machinery via simple interfaces (sensors, light cabinets, contacts).
Interactive exhibits, however, have other requirements.

Some prototypical examples of RT/RML applications from the MESO laboratory are shown in this video.
